Still Life of Roses in a Glass Vase by George Charrondière Circa 1930 - 27½" x 36¼"

A French floral still life oil on canvas, circa 1930, signed George Charrondière, presented in a carved Louis XV–style giltwood frame. A luminous bouquet of garden roses in ivory, blush pink, and deep red gathers in a clear glass vase set on a polished tabletop, the soft neutral background allowing the petals and reflections to glow. The painter uses confident, textured brushwork to render the velvety blooms and the delicate transparency of the glass. The painting remains in good condition with light age toning, while the giltwood frame shows gentle wear, small gesso chips, and mellowed gilding that enhance its antique character.

The work reflects the enduring French tradition of floral still life painting shaped by the École des Beaux-Arts and artists such as Fantin-Latour, where careful observation and refined color harmonies were favored. George Charrondière, active in the 20th century, exhibited at the Salon d’Hiver in 1932 and at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants from 1937, placing his work within the lively Parisian exhibition culture of the early 20th century.

Welcoming and elegant, this painting suits an entry above a console, a dining room layered with linen and silver, or a salon paired with a gilt mirror and limestone mantel. Its warm palette and softly lit blooms bring a quiet, cultivated romance to both traditional interiors and restrained contemporary rooms.
